Salim

Salim is a married man with five children, all of whom attend school. He owns a house that has electricity and piped water. His greatest monthly expenses are food and school fees.

He has operated a water selling business from home for the past three years, neighbours and passersby are his potential customers. Salim faces a major challenge of seasonality. During hot summer season the supply of water is low and demand is high. He hopes to own a retail shop in the future.

With the Kshs 40,000 he wants to purchase a water tap. He decided to join Yehu to get financial assistance to improve his business.
